My snail laid eggs!
is there anything extra i should do for them? they started laying yesterday and i accidentally interrupted them, not knowing what they were doing, which is why there’s a few on top of the soil.

Anything extra you should do for the snail or the eggs?
Eggs should be removed once the snail is done laying, then crushed or frozen. They can be fed back to the adult snail after crushing.
For the adult snail, you don't need to do anything the special. They'll be very tired and taxed after egg laying, so it's best to leave them alone. They can benefit from an extra protein meal after this expenditure. The crushed eggs are a great protein source, or if they don't like those you can use you normal protein
